Portfolio: 1

I have over 10 years’ experience in the aerospace/defense industry. Having a general engineering degree (vs. a degree specifically in mechanical engineering) means that I am more well-rounded than the average engineer and have taken a wider variety of courses including electrical, environmental, aerospace and software engineering. I frequently volunteer for various Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) functions in my local community. I excel at taking technical concepts and converting them into step-by-step instructions or explanations for the non-technical community.

Agile Coach, Lean IdeaLab, Project Manager, Certified Scrum Master

I have 17 years of experience. Using Agile and Lean, I created the Lean IdeaLab which successfully took the Lean Startup to an established company to quickly innovate. In the first 4 sprints/iterations (8 weeks total), we created 4 MVP's (see below for more info).
We created a Lean User Advisory Panel of 850 enthusiastic users without spending a dime.
I will show you how to quickly set up a Lean IdeaLab and why every company should have one!
Agile and Scrum Coaching:
I also provide Agile and Scrum coaching (I'm a CSM and CSPO). I've been a Sr. Program Manager for over 10 years.
If you have a team of 8 and I help you achieve just a 5% improvement, that is over $40,000 in just one year.
You're looking for results - as there is a LOT of bad Agile and Scrum out there.
When looking for a great Agile coach, ask the following questions:
-How often do you actually deploy to production (we deploy every two weeks on the night the sprint ends! We've done this for years now.)
-How many teams have you successfully started up? (I've started up 5)
-How long have you been a Scrum Master (I've been one for over 5 years on multiple teams)
-Have you ever been coached or consulted by outside Agile coaches? (I've worked with Lyssa Adkins, author of Coaching Agile Teams and Accenture.)
-How well does your team complete what they've committed? (For 2012, we completed 95.5% of what we committed to!)
-What percentage of production bug fixes were made (For 2012, we only spent 1.2% of sprint points for production bugs, achieving very high quality).
I love Agile and Scrum (I've even applied it to how the software engineers reporting to me set their goals for their performance appraisal).
What you'll get with me:
Instead of taking a consultant approach and saying how you need to improve x, y, z, I take a coaching approach where I find out your situation and context, and work with you and your team(s) to come up with changes they buy into and want to make. It is a very different approach than a consultant.
Now, about the Lean IdeaLab:
We achieved some amazing results in just the first 4 sprints (total of 8 weeks):
-4 MVP’s - Created 4 Minimum Viable Products (MVP’s), including our first mobile app
-User Advisory Panel – We sent out a survey and later received over 850 responses to join our panel
-Lean IdeaJam - Organized our first off-site IdeaJam session with 10 cross-departmental employees
-Companywide Presentation and Survey of MVP’s and future Plans and Ideas – Why we waited until we had 3 MVP’s to show the company before we announced the IdeaLab team and sent an internal survey
-Culture Change – We quickly began changing the culture by showing how people’s ideas are quickly turned into MVP’s and how our simple process for evaluating ideas means every idea gets a fair shot
Unlike other coaches and consultants, I will share with you the exact documents I used, the key expectations we set for the team, the survey questions, etc., so you can quickly modify and set up a Lean IdeaLab. It has been the most exciting thing I've ever done, and has produced the best results.
Again, you want someone who can help deliver results and make a big impact.
I'm happy to talk to you about how I can help.
